Recent T5 CCR entry success while transit from F>CE?
 

I know I asked this question before but I was wondering what the current success and consistancy on gaining T5 CCR access when arriving at LHR in International FC and transiting to CE? A few months ago it was hit and miss... has a consistant policy been put into place?

We are flying BA in a couple weeks and my only hope to experience the T5 CCR would be our arrival since our transatlantic segments arrive and depart T4 and I think the T4 CCR is closed (or will be when we depart).

Thanks.

Every lounge entry desk file contains a note re the access policy for inbound prem cabins. There should be no issue and the policy as stated on OW stands.

I had absolutely no problem gaining access to the CCR last week transiting F > UK Dom; staff were delightful and the Dining Room seems to be operating so much more slickly too.

In fact, the overall levels of service were superb.

excellent

I can confirm the same for my wife and me last Friday - no problems getting access to the CCR room or the First lounge.

I had no problems in late May going F -> CE, and it was an overnight connection.

No issues on Friday.

I was asked if I wanted a drink or food by four separate members of staff inside the first five minutes. ^

Any issues if you're connecting from a flight at LGW?

I'm with a group of 4 travelling in F from ATL-LGW, then we're schlepping our way to LHR for LHR-BRU in CE.

I was assuming that we'd have Concorde Room access based upon the F boarding pass for ATL-LGW.

I guess we'll find out next week, but I'm just curious ... just because we arrived in LGW that morning shouldn't make a difference, should it?

The rule is that you're allowed if you're flying any BA F sectors that day, regardless of start/end point.

So if you're flying LHR-BAH in Y and BAH-DOH in F, you can use the CR

Not LGW I know but I landed at T4 this morning at 07:00 from BOM in F. I worked all day in the office and I gained access to the T5 CCR just now (some 8 hours later) for my domestic connecting flight and was able to use the "secret" door ^

It is lovely and peaceful in here although it seems they are still having air conditioning problems in some areas, the boardroom for example is like a sauna :(

The cabans the other week were also rather warm.
